Default Replacement Seat Belts?

I pulled the complete interior on my '73 yesterday and my seat belt mechanism under the seat was pretty groady. Who have you used for replacement belts, are you happy with the fit and price? How was the color match?
Thanks, Greg

There's only one company that produces seat belts I'm pretty sure. Fit and finish seemed great (just bought them 2 months ago). Price was a lot to swallow, but being the only company producing it, they have a monopoly.

Seatbelt solutions are the ones that make them.

Or there is SnakeOyl that rebuilds seat belts and retractors.

I went to local scrapyard and found set of black shoulder harnesses with one retractor for behind seat for $10. Took some searching but worth it

I installed the rear belts from the last generation of Firebird or Camaro, 1993 to 2002, they work well and were cheap from an eBay boneyard.

You just anchor it at the same points under the seat, and the reel on top sits at the same angle so it locks correctly. The hard part is prying off the buckle so you can feed it through the slot in the seatback, but a couple pairs of locking pliers and a helper to place the little bar back in made it work.
